    Marineland 1200 powerhead problem

    I have had 3 fish sucked into my powerhead so I finally decided to put a filter sock on there. Will this be okay? I don't want to burn out the motor, I don't think it will but I want to be sure. The right side where the water is being pushed is left open but all the sides where it is sucked...
